I don't think you can draw that conclusion. It is just a natural switch from pbook to ebook due to the deluge of new reading devices. What was the number, 25 million new e-ink readers and tablets in 2010? The publishers could be selling a lot more ebooks if they wanted. 138% increase is incredible low.
